A doctor in the United States told how unvaccinated coronavirus patients beg for immunization, but she tells them "it is too late."

Dr.

Brytney Cobia

says only one of her patients was vaccinated and is expected to survive.

However, most of those who have not yet been punctured are dying.

Dr Cobia, who works at Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama, also said young, healthy people were being admitted with

"very serious Covid infections."

She said:

"One of the last things they do before being intubated is begging me for the vaccine.

I hold their hand and tell them I'm sorry, but it's too late."

"A few days later, when the time of death came, I

hug the members of your family and tell them that the best way to honor your loved one is to get vaccinated

and encourage everyone you know to do the same. They cry and They tell me they didn't know. They thought that because they had a certain blood type or a certain skin color, they wouldn't get that sick. They thought it was just the flu. "

And the specialist continues.

"But they were wrong. And they wish they could go back, but they can't. So they thank me and they get the vaccine. And I go back to my office, write their death certificate and say a little prayer that this loss will save more lives."


Alabama has the lowest absorption of the coronavirus vaccine in the United States, With only 33.7% of the population receiving the vaccine, the Delta variant that originated in India is spreading in the state, causing an increase in cases and hospitalizations. 

Referring to the second wave during the US winter, Dr Cobia told AL.com: 'I was signing 10 death certificates a day.

`` Now, it is certainly not like that, but it probably reminds me a lot of October, November 2020. In the coming months we will have to take care not to make the same mistakes, "he asked.

Cobia recommends that people who hesitate to get vaccinated speak with their primary care physicians about their concerns.

She said: 'I try to be very impartial when I get a new Covid patient who is not vaccinated, but I really started asking them,' Why haven't they been vaccinated? '

"And most of them are very honest, they give me answers. 'I talked to this person, I saw this on Facebook, I got this email, I saw this on the news.' I vaccinated ".

Dr Cobia added that it was "really difficult" for doctors and medical staff like her to see people who weren't vaccinated die. "We did this for a long time and we are all, at this point, very tired and emotionally drained." .


The coronavirus can cause serious respiratory problems, associated with pneumonia.

During the development of the pandemic, it became clear that the virus causes respiratory complications such as pneumonia, which occurs when the lungs fill with fluid and become inflamed.

As the air sacs fill with fluid, they cannot absorb as much oxygen, leading to symptoms such as coughing and shortness of breath.

It has also been shown to damage epithelial cells, which line the airways from the nose to the lungs.

The US has a resurgence of internationals as a result of the Delta variant.

The United States hit a six-month high of new Covid cases with more than 100,000 infections reported on Wednesday, as the Delta variant ravages areas where people were not vaccinated.

The country is reporting more than 94,819 cases in an average of seven days,

a five-fold increase in less than a month,

and the sharpest increases are in vaccine-hesitant states like Florida, Missouri and Louisiana.
